This is incredibly disappointing, especially with such an abrupt end. Especially as I've recently paid for WiFi on a couple of 3+ hour flights so that I could have access the whole flight without chewing through a 3rd pass for a relatively short period of time, and apparently now will expire a number of passes unused.

I'm sure WS will offer us nothing as compensation for the loss of this valuable benefit.

How about less card for more price? They haven't increased the annual fee in a while, I wouldn't put it past them.
